This is the Team Losi Racing 1/8 4WD Electric Buggy 8IGHT-E 4.0
Kit. The 8IGHT-E 3.0 buggy introduced a completely redesigned chassis
specifically engineered for electric power. The 8IGHT-E 4.0 buggy builds
on this proven platform with updates to the suspension geometry and
drivetrain layout that make it easier to drive and even tougher to
beat.
Revised Suspension Geometry
New
suspension geometry makes it easier for drivers of all experience levels
to turn faster lap times with fewer mistakes, particularly when
harnessing the power of a high-output brushless motor system.
Variable Motor and Center Differential Angles
Two
different center plates for the bottom of the chassis are included. The
stock center plate puts the motor and differential directly in line
with the chassis. The optional center plate rotates the motor and
differential 4.4 degrees, creating equal angles between the front-center
and rear-center dog bones. This provides more balanced power to the
front and rear of the car under acceleration.
Two Battery and ESC Locations
The
chassis offers two locations for the battery and ESC. With the battery
in the forward location and the ESC in the rear of the car, the vehicle
has more forward weight bias which improves stability on high-speed
tracks. Moving the ESC forward and the battery to the rear mounting
location provides a rear weight bias that increases corner speed and
makes handling more agile.
Large Bearing Spindles and Hubs
Front spindles and rear hubs have been revised to accept a larger 8 x 16 x 5 outer bearing for increased durability.
Adjustable Caster Blocks
The adjustable, 15-degree caster blocks make it possible to tune dog bone plunge by changing the height of the spindle.
New Bleeder Shock Caps and Seals
The
new bleeder shock caps and internal seals allow for easier rebuilds
while using an emulsion shock setup. New bushings that press into the
shock cap further improve durability.
Driveshaft and Dog Bone Boots
Molded
rubber boots on the CVAs and center drivetrain dog bones increase U-
joint life by holding lubrication in and keeping dirt out.
Redesigned Shock Towers
The
machined aluminum shock towers have new camber link and shock location
holes that give racers more tuning options for changing track
conditions.
Cab-Forward Body
The cab-forward body moves aerodynamic pressure further forward on the car, which improves steering.
